Angel,

You can use the GIF device driver that is not dependent of the X server,
as opposed to GF which uses the X server. Another option is to use the
Xvfb program to provide a virtual X server to use for rendering images.

Use dclsfc to decode land synoptic observations. Use dcmsfc to
decode maritime synoptic observations.
